I actually do it to help remember where I left off the next day or the<br>

good to have reminders too. ;)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div> </div><div>My comments tend to be something like "this broke stuff" and "get rid of this".

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
